How a logo shapes your business

When it comes to developing a brand, logo design is so important. The power of a logo to provoke an emotional response will affect the way customers and potential customers view a particular product, service or company.

A powerful logo may look simple but there's nothing simple about creating effective logo shapes. Close your eyes and imagine Apple's logo. Now think of Nike's. How about Coca Cola? They're memorable, you most likely pictured them within seconds.

Logos are much more than simple symbols. Logos are the face of your company, delivering a lasting impression. Your logo is a fundamental visual representation of your business, what you do and what you're about. When it comes to designing your logo take the greatest care and be fastidious. If you already have a logo, the same goes for redesigning it. Spare no attention to detail.

So what to consider?

Be enticing – your logo must appeal to your target audience

Be unique and memorable – a rail travel company's logo should never be a train

Be adaptable – does the logo look good large or small, in black and white?

Business owners or those wanting a logo will try to do it themselves. We highly recommend against this and suggest you leave the design to a professional, much as you would leave your car repair to a mechanic. You'll find lots of different logo design tools available online, don't be tempted.
